Answer:

x ≤ -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute 3 through the paraentheses:

3(x - 6) + 2 ≥ 5x - 4

    ↓

3x - 18 + 2 ≥ 5x - 4

Calculate the sum:

3x - 18 + 2 ≥ 5x - 4

       ↓

3x - 16 ≥ 5x - 4

Move the variable (5x) to the left-hand side and change its sign:

3x - 16 ≥ 5x - 4

          ↓

3x -5x - 16 ≥ - 4

Move the constant (- 16) to the right-hand side and change its sign:

3x -5x - 16 ≥ - 4

          ↓

3x - 5x ≥ - 4 + 16

Collect like terms (3x and - 5x):

3x - 5x ≥ - 4 + 16

           ↓

-2x ≥ - 4 + 16

Calculate the sum:

-2x ≥ - 4 + 16

         ↓

-2x ≥ 12

Divide both sides of the inequality by -2 and flip the inequality sign:

x ≤ -6

VWX\cong KLJ means that the triangles are congruent, that is exactly identical.

The order of letters is very important. Form the given congruence we can write the following ratio:

\frac{VW}{KL} = \frac{WX}{LJ} = \frac{VX}{KJ} =1

(notice that we do not mix the order: the first 2 letters of VWX are compared to the first 2 letters of KLJ and so on)

the ratio is one because the corresponding sides are equal.

\frac{VW}{KL}=1\\\\ \frac{2z-1}{z+2}=1\\\\2z-1=z+2\\\\2z-z=2+1\\\\z=3

|VW|=2z-1=2.3-1=6-1=5


Answer: 5 units
